I loved Thelma and Louise and The Long Kiss Goodnight (and The Accidental Tourist) but I like Geena Davis more.

As I wrote here she has despaired of the lack of female role models in films and here are a few more of her insightful words.

If my son was a girl I would imagine that years of Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam, et al, would have made me even more sensitive (i.e. bloody angry) about this sort of thing than I already am.
